Laser Tattoos on 3D Prints (It’s Been Done Before)

[@amberjohnson7424]

We at Image Tattoo can't thank you and everyone here helping enough. Dane spoke so fondly of you and as much as none of this should have happened it's always the nicest thing to hear all the fondness back towards him. We all miss him so much and there's so much love revolved around that wonderful man. Thankyou again, no words will ever be enough 🖤

[@Groundeffected]

He will be sorely missed. We gonna get him that bench!! Good luck with your flash day too! 💕

[@TinyLittles3D]

Thanks for the shout out my Dad! So sorry to hear about your friend. May he rest in peace.

[@Groundeffected]

Bro!! My pleasure. You beat me to it, it but it’s too good an opportunity to pass up doing this model. Especially cos I’m a tattoo artist by trade too. Let’s catch up some time bro and make a video?

I was happily watching your videos to learn how to improve my painting, and this one came along and really kicked me in the balls. Sorry for your loss, stay strong, grief is a long process that never really goes away; it just gets easier to live with.

[@Groundeffected]

Sorry dude. I didn’t wanna out the burden on anyone else but I had to make sure to get the point across and use my channel for something good.

[@Phantasm3DCustoms]

Great video man! I wouldn't have thought in a million years about using a laser for adding to prints! Also, sorry for your loss...I know that pain all too well and it sucks big time. Its a really nice thing your doing for the family, much respect!

[@williamd1732]

Sounds like he was a good guy. Sorry for the loss to you and his family. I'll happily donate to the cause. I'm also a subscriber of Tinylittle3D and have seen that tattoo video. I was really impressed with how he used it. You had a great idea for it as well. I'm wondering if I can get my glowforge to do something like that as well. I'll have to tinker with it sometime. Thanks for the video.

[@Groundeffected]

I do wonder. Setting the height is so important. I moved the laser up and down for multi passes. But you can’t move the object or alignment and this laser just has a motor to lift it kind of accurately up and down.

[@Soulessdeeds]

Losing a friend is really hard. I lost a few during Iraq and I still to this day remember them clearly. It does get easier with time I promise. I admire you wanting to do this for him. Good on you sir. And thank you for the video. The laser tats are super cool with the Thelma model. Great work.

From Mexico my most sincere condolences, and I must say that you are a great artist and I am about to close a business that fed me for 7 years, and I plan to dedicate myself to painting miniatures for wargaming and scale models, and you have been a great inspiration and example to take this step, all the best brother and thank you for your art.

[@Groundeffected]

Good luck bro. I wish you the best.

[@MacMac-nc5nd]

Losing a friend is so hard and I think most of us have been though this in some point in our life Dad but it's never easy. You have many friends all over the world due to your mad painting style. I'm sure your friends family will soon have that bench and more importantly a place to remember. On a lighter note Dad have you seen the new ZEZ Spiderman I think it's a must for you to paint !!

[@Groundeffected]

Dude I have. That spidey is amaze! Also thanks for your kind words.

[@SOSO_CREPITUS]

What figurine was that in the beginning with the bandages??

[@ippaku]

What a great way to celebrate the life of your friend and honor their memory. My stepfather was 96 years old and passed away this year. He donated his body to science so that no one would have to pay for a grave, and no one would talk about spreading his ashes across the bar that he used to hang out at when he was still drinking. It is hard for us that remain to not have some place to go to feel close to him again. But I’ve got to have them for 35 years so I’m grateful for that. Solid video is always proud Patreon member. I bought some raffle tickets. and I’m waiting for my password reset on the damn GoFundMe. Be well be you.

[@Groundeffected]

Wow he lived a long life though so that’s a good thing. It is tough some people have it harder than others too. We all grieve in our own ways. I really want to make sure we get that family a place to go and remember him just feels like the right thing to do.

[@floatingtigerscarriff6664]

Can I ask How do studios that make figure statues or PVC figures that has intricate details on them like tattoos/tiny patterns do it without lasers or hand painting them all?

[@Groundeffected]

They’d use waterslide decals or hydro dipping kind of techniques

[@harrydoordewarry]

my condolences

[@RoyalPredator]

Wish I knew this before I've made a whole collection of high-res water decal of Die Antwoord Ninja's tattoos into my figures... Nvm I knew, but it's hell expensive on this level.

[@jmtnaico129]

Is there a video you have for doing face details? If not can you make one. I keep messing up the face and I wanna improve.

[@Groundeffected]

Um I think there is. But maybe I could elaborate one day. Good point!

[@rebeltaz123]

Condolences on your loss. I try to think that those we lose are in a better place. We will see them again. I am curious if you did any testing to get the correct settings on the laser? I have that same model and I never thought about even TRYING to laser those on! I was thinking waterslide decal, but that looks awesome!

[@Groundeffected]

To be honest a couple of days and like 3 or 4 models to test and you’ll get it right. It’s all in the layers of paint too thin and you cut through too fast.

[@bravoromeojohn]

Condolences brother. Amazing goal to do the right thing for your mate 👊 On the kit...for us poor folk...what about a decal sheet?!?

[@Groundeffected]

You can buy transparent water slide decal paper and just print your own.

[@cgalvin123]

Sorry I know this is a bit off topic but I've been wondering: how big is the Supergirl print you painted a year ago? The one that is shown to have white clothes. Also, what sizes do you get your 3D prints in?

[@Groundeffected]

She’s 1/4 scale. Usually most people send them out in 1/6th scale. I print mostly that size.

[@cgalvin123]

Thanks

Just simple 3v led with cr 32 batteries in holders. It’s all simple stuff no other electronics

[@insnprsn]

Sorry for the loss of your friend man, I never win anything but I raffled (Raffalled?) anyways cause the feels. I hope the bench is epic! If your feels can handle it, do a follow-up.

[@Groundeffected]

We will defo have a follow up. I think sometime in November because the place that the bench is going is a national park area so they wait for the animals to settle for winter before disturbing the park with builders and works getting done.

[@get_2_thed46]

Do you have a site where we can order models from you

[@Groundeffected]

I don’t at the moment. I don’t really sell my models much. I have a massive collection and I probably should start thinning them down.

[@ilikenothingtoo]

Do you think you can fine tune it enough so that you paint a black base coat and then do your normal flesh tones so the tattoos are black/grey?

[@Groundeffected]

Yes. You definitely can. It would take some messing with but the first model had some cool black and grey effects. You could put grey as a layer and laser the lines to the black primer and then the shades to the grey layer etc. and come back after with some whit highlights with a brush.

[@Pinturademinis]

you can do the same with sharp markers and a transfer paper.. and not buy any machine to do that (print on transfer paper, transfer to your doll and go over with sharp pens, like gandam pen)

[@Groundeffected]

I mean you can. But that’s like telling someone with a Ferrari that he could do the same thing he’s doing but in a smart car. If you have a Ferrari use it if not then smart car it is. Lol

He’s definitely familiar. He has a poster in the background at 0:16 . If I’m not mistaken it is of some death company marines for blood angels but I’m not 100% sure

What settings are you using for the laser?

I’d say you gonna need to play because the setting I used before didn’t work when I tried later because the layers of paint make a huge difference to the effect of the laser.

@@Groundeffected It makes sense I actually have the F1 Ultra and have found the same things with other projects on that. Especially after updating the firmware.

[@tm5123]

Are the tattooes colored later on, or can the laser colorshift some of the tattoo as it does it?

[@Groundeffected]

They are how they look out the laser. If you fiddled with layer of paint and depths you could get some cool results I think.

Is there something cheaper that can do this?

Yea. Just use water slide decals you can buy blank sheets and print them at home. For like 5-10 bucks
